In late 2014 my good friend
Peter Kellner
approach me with a big idea – an idea that immediately
caught my attention. He wanted to explore collaborating
on a new conference idea that would highlight
Angular
and other “hot” Web development topics and wondered if
I’d be interested in working with him and another friend
of his named
Kevin Nilson
(who is also a good friend now) on a full-scale
conference. I’ve been involved with chairing a lot of
conference tracks over the years but never been the
driving force behind organizing an entire conference.
While the idea was definitely exciting it was also a
little scary – at least initially.
After
talking more with Peter and Kevin I decided to jump in
and we’ve been working hard to put on a top-notch
conference called
AngularU
(short for “Angular University”) that will be held in
San Francisco from
June 22 – 25, 2015. I’m really excited
about the conference and thought I’d discuss some of the
key reasons in this post.
